About the Coaching Program
Coaching is about helping you decide what is important for you and your company and then focus your attention on achieving the best possible results in those areas. Your focus may be on management skills, leadership, team building, creative processes, customer service, employee satisfaction, etc. Ultimately it’s about success, which requires clear vision, strong commitment and getting the best out of yourself and the company’s human capital.
A coach may assume different roles depending on your needs and preferences. Coaches act as mentors or trusted advisors. Your coach can be a taskmaster and attentive ear who understands better who you are and what you need to do. The coach holds you accountable for your actions and decisions and helps you maintain focus and commitment. Ultimately a coach is someone without a personal agenda, who you can depend on to tell it like it is without any filtering or biases. Something that you are less likely to experience with people from your company.
The coach provides a structure and process to help you discover where you are and where you want to get to and develop actions to get you there faster and with more positive impact.
Types of Coaching
Coaching takes on many names: executive coaching, business coaching, personal coaching, corporate coaching, life coaching, performance coaching, sales coaching, etc.
But coaching is coaching, no matter what name you put to it. At the core of it all are the following principles:
The client/coach relationship is developed jointly
The client is naturally creative and resourceful
Coaching addresses the client’s whole life and the company’s big picture
The agenda comes from the client
Our approach focuses more on asking the right questions than providing answers. This way the client is responsible for coming up with the answers that work best for him or her.
What Coaching Will Do for You
Coaching will help you create self-awareness; discover who you are, where you are right now, and where you want to get to. Having clarity about your goals and objectives is of paramount importance to achieving success.
Issues addressed by Coaching
Your coach will help you resolve issues such as:
Unclear vision and focus.
Strategies and tactics that do not align with larger goals
Lack of action and commitment to achieve the larger goals
The Coaching Process
For the most part, coaching is done one-on-one, face-to-face, over the phone, or a combination based on your preference.
Coaching is typically done four times a month with each coaching session lasting 30-45 minutes.
During each session, you, as the client will be asked to either take some action or explore some topic or issue related to the big picture before the next session.
As you know, it takes time to realize the benefits of any major change both at an individual and company level. Just think of your last major change effort. Therefore, to realize the benefits of coaching you need to make a commitment to period of time, typically at least six months.
The Coaching Program
The corporate coaching program consists of four integrated components:
Issues Identification, to focus on what is important
Action Planning, to take action to improve performance
Change Management, to sustain the change
Coaching, to ensure alignment with the big picture and integrity at the personal and company levels.
The Business Case for Coaching
People who have coaches generally set realistic goals and achieve quicker results because of clearer, better focus and alignment with personal and corporate values. Studies have shown that people who have clearly defined goals perform four times better than those who don’t.
An improvement at the leadership level has a ripple effect throughout the organization and the organization gets more out of its human capital.
Studies have shown that adding coaching to training increases the payback four-fold.
There is a need for executives to get better balance in their lives. Success in business and in life is directly related to the level of balance in your life. A study of seven major American corporations clearly demonstrated that 93% of executives are completely stressed out.
There are many areas where coaching can bring tremendous value. What prevents executives from hiring coaches?
There is a perception that if an individual needs a coach, there is something wrong with him or her. There is also a lack of understanding about what coaching is and its relevance in a business setting. In other endeavours there is no such reluctance, i.e. the most successful people in the world use coaches.
